Vulnerable seniors need a voice

No minimum standard for senior care

On the off chance that Health Minister George Smitherman is still considering running for mayor of Toronto, he can now be assured that he will not get the seniors' vote. After lambasting the Tories for their poor treatment of patients in nursing homes, it seems that he is no more willing to spend money to ensure seniors get adequate care than was his predecessor.

What is particularly disturbing is this comes just after the government announced it will spend billions of dollars building new nuclear reactors that will saddle us with debts for decades to come.

Our seniors helped to build this province. They deserve quality care when they need it.
